Praise be

Everyone is hyped on them hitting the over but this team seems like a huge trap to me. Already they have multiple guys injured before the season starts. Zion is in a prove it year. Really hard to trust this team; even somewhat healthy I don’t see them being better than many of the other teams based on just how competitive the west is.

I’d like to know how many times they’ve hit the over in the last 10 years but I’d guess 2 or 3
